I'm really enjoying this! I love the piano! The dubstep elements sound particularly weak though... the percussion and bass need a lot more to make them pop. It doesn't necessarily need to be more aggressive, it just needs to have a stronger presence, in my opinion. Especially the bass, it just sounds really hollow and empty as is. I'd take a look at seeing what you can do to beef it up, or replace the instrument if necessary.

I totally dig the piano + vocals though. The vocals are a little cheesy, but I think it fits great with the atmosphere. Nice job!

Thanks mate! I agree about the percussion, I do think my kick drum does not cut through the mix as much when I compare to other dubstep tracks. I've read about compression sidechaining, would that be the way forward?
